ABOUT THE mural
The Dance of Shifting Sands - Metamodern reconstructed Desert
This mural series was born as a dialogue between matter and meaning — a desert not of geography, but of feelings and shifting inner terrains. I approached it as an act of deconstruction and recreation, breaking down familiar desert archetypes — dunes, fossils, eroded rocks — and recomposing them into a space where memory, sensation, and time swirl like moving sands.

The desert here is not empty. It is full of fragments — emotional sediments, traces of life, and silent fossils of human experience. Every ceramic fragment was sculpted separately, like excavated bones of forgotten creatures, then placed onto the painted background as if the wind itself had revised and rearranged them to create new meanings.

This is a metamodern desert — a place of oscillation. It exists between erosion and construction, intimacy and vastness, where meaning is never fixed, only revised and constantly redefined — a dance of shifting sands, of shifting selves.



Deconstructed Language

This mural is not only about form; it is also about the deconstruction of language itself. The drawn lines and the thin light lines across the surface are not just decorative marks — they are texts. But texts that have been broken apart, stripped of linguistic order, and dissolved into pure energetic resonance.

Here, language ceases to be read in words. It becomes a field of vibrations, a telepathic zone where meaning is not “understood” but felt. The lines are like fossilized sentences eroded by the desert wind — their grammar has collapsed, their letters have fragmented, and what remains is raw meaning, transmitted directly, wave to wave.

This is metamodern communication — not linear rational explanation, but intuitive reading of energy patterns, like hearing a story told by the desert itself without a single spoken word.
Sketches
Creation Process
Concept
This concept video unveils the soul of the project — a visual poem where sculpture and shifting sands converge. Born not from a physical landscape alone, but from memories and energies moving silently through time, each frame traces the transformation of unseen impressions into living form. More than a process, it is a myth unfolding — where art becomes a vessel for invisible stories, shaped by touch, time, and the echoes of what once was.
Glazing ceramic elements
Six layers of glaze — each one a whisper, a guess, a prayer.
You never truly know what you’ve made until the fire answers.
It’s not control, but surrender — that reveals the alchemy.
Foundation: Curvilinear boards
Shaping the unseen — cutting curvilinear lines into MDF, tracing the first contour of the mural’s future body. Each curve is a gesture, a preparation for the forms that will rise from it. Before clay, there is this: the quiet choreography of foundation.
Day One In The Mall
The mural begins with a line — hand-drawn onto the mall’s vast wall, echoing the curves once traced in studio. It’s the first breath of the form in its true scale, where space meets vision. From here, the dunes will rise.
Ceramic parts on board
Placing stories into form — ceramic fragments find their rhythm on the board. Each curve remembers fire, each line seeks its place in the whole.
Puzzling ceramic parts on board
Piecing together the story, one ceramic at a time.
Each shard finds its place, like a whisper in the mural’s unfolding tale.


Boards on the wall
Carefully aligning and installing each board onto the wall — step by step, the foundation for the mural comes to life.
Every panel carries its own rhythm, and together they start composing the full visual story.
